Tokenization
Enabling the secure shift to digital payments
Ensure the security and support of customer payment details in a changing digital payments environment using Discover® Tokenization.
Safeguard and provide assistance for customer payment information within a dynamic digital payments ecosystem through Discover® Tokenization.
How tokenization works
Tokenization involves substituting a customer's primary account number (PAN) with a distinctive replacement code known as a token. By utilizing the token instead of the PAN, the customer's data remains secure during the entire transaction.
Tokenization enhances the security of digital payments, regardless of whether they are conducted in physical stores at the point of sale or in virtual environments.
Card-on-File (COF) Stored Payment Tokens
Safely provide the convenience of recurring billing and hassle-free online payments. Stored payment tokens replace stored primary account numbers or cards-on-file with payment tokens specific to each merchant.
